Errata:
Ralph
Nader
and
Industrial
Hemp
7/7/00
Last week's review of Ralph
Nader statements and Green Party platforms related to the war on drugs
incorrectly stated that Nader was silent on "debate on hemp as a major
potential source of pulp and paper substitute" as advocated in the official
party platform (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/143.html#nader).
In fact, Nader made the following remarks in a campaign speech posted on
his web site:
"In Hawaii, we visited one
of the only two plots in the United States (the other is on the Pine Ridge
Reservation) legally permitted to grow industrial hemp, that 5000 year
old, versatile plant with thousands of uses, including textiles, fuel,
food and paper. A fraction of an acre was surrounded by barbed wire
fence, saturation night lights inside a larger fenced area. This
medieval experience brought home once again that for the sake of farmers,
the environment, consumers and energy independence, it is necessary to
free industrial hemp from the proscribed list of US Drug and Enforcement
Agency."
